I want to know the req quantity of cement for plastering 300
sft in final coat with 12 mm. Any math involved? Plz help

Answer Posted / mohammed aijaz hussain

Volume of Wet Mortar = 12 mm X 300 cc.ft.
= 12/1000 X 300/10.76
= 0.335 cu.m.

Add 20% for depressions, joints and wastage:
= 0.067+0.335
= 0.402 cu.m.

Volume of Dry Mortar = 1.3 X 0.402
= 0.523 cu.m. = 18.45 cu.ft.
